Amazon 'make your own' Kindle covers announced - Examiner.com

Amazon is so creative. Today, Thursday, November 14, 2013, Amazon announced a new service whereby customers can make and personalize their own Kindle covers — adding skins for the same price as the regular covers.

People can get their own Amazon Origami covers and choose from images on Amazon of popular comic book heroes, movie and television show images and more. They have designs from Peanuts, National Geographic, Breaking Bad, Star Trek, and others that are skins for Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX, plus previous generations of Kindle e-readers and tablets.

This Internet Deals Examiner thinks it’s cool that Amazon would create something like this to rival the kinds of skins people have been able to get for years on Apple products. Just one more way for Amazon to encourage folks to get Kindle devices in the hands of everybody on the planet, as is Jeff Bezos’ goal.

For Kindle authors of eBooks and such, it's also encouraging to see all the new trends and things that the online retailing giant comes up with in order to proliferate eBook readers across the planet. We know, like Amazon knows, that the long-term money comes from all the digital content that customers buy to put on these devices, so whatever cool marketing tricks they come up with to help that process along, we're all for it.

People will probably really like the fact that they can upload their own photos and designs, so they can have a truly personalized Kindle cover like no one else in the world has.
